Effect of Substrate Temperature on Structural and Optical Properties of CdO Thin Films
Main Article Content
Abstract
Thin films of CdO have been prepared by spray pyrolysis technique. XRD analysis reveals that all the prepared samples were polycrystalline and have preferred orientation along [111] orientation. The surface topography was determined by AFM which indicate that surface roughness and rms roughness were increased by the increasing of substrate temperature. The optical energy gap was determined and its value lies between (2.4-2.5) eV.
